FIG. 3 is another view of the electronic device assembly 10 shown in FIG. 2. The electronic device assembly 10 includes a portable electronic device 12, an external electronic device 14 and a connector mechanism 16. Generally, the portable electronic device 12 can be a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a smart phone, a personal digital assistance and so on. The external electronic device 14 can be a battery charger, a flash disk and/or a signal adapter. The external electronic device 14 can be detachably assembled with the portable electronic device 12 via the connector mechanism 16 for signal transmission or electric charge. The connector mechanism 16 in the present disclosure provides the specific guide pin/hole structures to effectively increase orientation accuracy and operational fluency of connection between the portable electronic device 12 and the external electronic device 14.

Please refer to FIG. 4 to FIG. 6. FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 respectively are diagrams of the connector mechanism 16 in different modes according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. The connector 16 includes a base 18, a plug connector 20, a guide pin structure 22, a pedestal 24, a receptacle connector 26 and a guide hole structure 28. The base 18 and the pedestal 24 are respectively located inside the external portable electronic device 14 and the portable electronic device 12. The plug connector 20 is disposed on the base 18, and the receptacle connector 26 is disposed on the pedestal 24. An amount of the guide pin structure 22 is at least one or more. For example, the connector mechanism 16 may have two guide pin structures 22 for correct connection between the plug connector 20 and the receptacle connector 26. The guide pin structures 22 are disposed on the base 18 and respectively located by sides of the plug connector 20. An amount of the guide hole structure 28 corresponds to an amount of the guide pin structure 22, and each of the guide hole structures 28 is disposed on the pedestal 24 and located by the side of the receptacle connector 26.

The guide pin structure 22 includes a first portion 30 and a second portion 32. Two ends of the first portion 30 are respectively connected to the base 18 and the second portion 32. An end (which is not connected to the first portion 30) of the second portion 32 opposite to the first portion 30 can be a free end 221 of the guide pin structure 22. The free end 211 inserts into the corresponding guide hole structure 28 for orientation before the plug connector 20 gets in contact with the receptacle connector 26. It should be mentioned that the first portion 30 has a width W1, the second portion 32 has a width W2, and the width W2 is greater than the width W1. Further, the first portion 30 has a length L1, the second portion 32 has a length L2, the length L1 is greater than the length L2, and a value of

L 1/L 2

is preferably set between 1˜10.

The guide hole structure 28 includes a first area 34 and a second area 36. An end of the first area 34 is connected to the pedestal 24, and the second area 36 is connected to the other end of the first area 34, which means the first area 34 is located on a bottom of the guide hole structure 28 and the second area 36 is located on an opening of the guide hole structure 28. Dimensions of the guide hole structure 28 is designed according to dimensions of the guide pin structure 22. For example, the first area 34 has a width W1′, the second area 36 has a width W2′, and the width W1′ is greater than the width W2′. In the present disclosure, the guide pin structure 22 includes two portions that respectively have a wide front (the free end) and a narrow rear (the fixed end), and the guide hole structure 28 includes two areas that respectively have a narrow front (the opening) and a wide rear (the bottom). When the guide pin structure 22 inserts into the guide hole structure 28, assembly tolerance between the guide pin structure 22 and the guide hole structure 28 is smaller than assembly tolerance between the plug connector 20 and the receptacle connector 26, and orientation function of the connector mechanism 16 is led by the pin structure 22 and the guide hole structure 28. As the guide pin structure 22 inserts into the guide hole structure 28 in a while, the assembly tolerance between the guide pin structure 22 and the guide hole structure 28 is greater than the assembly tolerance between the plug connector 20 and the receptacle connector 26, and the orientation function of the connector mechanism 16 is change to be led by the plug connector 20 and the receptacle connector 26.

A total length of the guide pin structure 22 and the guide hole structure 28 is greater than a total length of the plug connector 20 and the receptacle connector 26 in order to utilize the guide pin structure 22 and the guide hole structure 28 for orientation navigation before the plug connector 20 is assembled with the receptacle connector 26. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a length of the guide pin structure 22 is greater than a length of the plug connector 20, and a length of the guide hole structure 28 is substantially equal to a length of the receptacle connector 26 (or the length of the guide hole structure 28 may be slightly greater the length of the receptacle connector 26), as shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6. Therefore, a protruding unit is disposed on a connective port of the external electronic device 14, and the portable electronic device 12 has no protruding unit disposed on its connective port, so as to conform to industry design demand and provide preferred product aesthetic.

Structural characteristics of the guide pin structure 22 and the guide hole structure 28 are introduced as following description. A width difference D1 is existed between the second portion 32 and the second area 36, a width difference D1′ is existed between the first portion 30 and the second area 36, a width difference D2 is existed between the plug connector 20 and the receptacle connector 26, and a width difference D3 is existed between the second portion 32 and the first area 34. The width difference D1 is smaller than the width difference D2, the width difference D2 is smaller than the width difference D3, and the width difference D2 is further smaller than the width difference D1′. As shown in FIG. 4, the guide pin structure 22 does not insert into the guide hole structure 28. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the length of the second portion 32 is substantially equal to a length difference between the guide pin structure 22 and the plug connector 20, so that the second portion 32 can get in contact with the guide hole structure 28 for leading the orientation of the connector mechanism 16 since the plug connector 20 is not assembled with the receptacle connector 26.

As shown in FIG. 5, the second portion 32 moves into the second area 36 of the guide hole structure 28. Because the width difference D1 is smaller than the width difference D2, the orientation of the connector mechanism 16 is led by the guide pin structure 22 and the guide hole structure 28, to ensure that the plug connector 20 can accurately align with the opening of the receptacle connector 26. As shown in FIG. 6, the guide pin structure 22 moves into the guide hole structure 28 further to locate the second portion 32 inside the first area 34, and the first portion 30 is located inside the second area 36. Because the width difference D2 is smaller than the width difference D3 and the width difference D1′, the orientation of the connector mechanism 16 is led by the plug connector 20 and the receptacle connector 26 and has no effect by the guide pin structure 22 and the guide hole structure 28, so as to prevent the connector mechanism 16 from damage by assembly failure between the guide pin structure 22 and the guide hole structure 28. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the length of the second area 36 maybe equal to the length of the second portion 32. The plug connector 20 can instantly lead the orientation of the connector mechanism 16 since the second portion 32 moves from the second area 36 to the first area 34.

The guide hole structure 28 further selectively includes a buffer area 38 disposed between the first area 34 and the second area 36. Please refer to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a partial diagram of the connector mechanism 16 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. A width difference D4 is existed between the second portion 32 and the buffer area 38, and the width difference D4 is smaller than the width difference D2. The second portion 32 may pass through the buffer area 38 when moving from the second area 36 to the first area 34. A length of the buffer area 38 maybe equal to 1˜2 mm. Since the second portion 32 moves into the buffer area 38, apart of the plug connector 20 inserts into the receptacle connector 26 already; in a meanwhile, the orientation of the connector mechanism 16 is still led by the guide pin structure 22 and the guide hole structure 28, and resilient deformation may be generated to prevent the plug connector 20 and the receptacle connector 26 from structural interference. The buffer area 38 is adapted to switch the orientation leading of the connector mechanism 16 from the guide pin structure 22 and the guide hole structure 28 smoothly to the plug connector 20 and the receptacle connector 26.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the free end 221 of the guide pin structure 22 is a tip structure (which means its angle is smaller than 180 degrees), an interface between the first area 34 and the second area 36 is a ladder structure, and an interface between the first portion 30 and the second portion 32 is the ladder structure. Shapes of the guide pin structure 22 and the guide hole structure 28 further can have different types. Please refer to FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a partial diagram of the connector mechanism 16 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 8, the free end 221 can be an arc structure, and the shape of the free end 221 is not limited to the above-mentioned tip or arc structures. Any shape capable of guiding the guide pin structure 22 smoothly into the guide hole structure 28 belongs to scope of the free end 221 of the present disclosure. The interface between the first area 34 and the second area 36 and/or between the first portion 30 and the second portion 32 further can be an inclined structure. Any structural characteristic conforming to the portions with the wide front and the narrow rear and the areas with the narrow front and the wide rear belongs to scope of the guide pin structure 22 and the guide hole structure 28 of the present disclosure, and a detailed description is omitted herein for simplicity.

The connector mechanism 16 further includes a plurality of strengthening ribs 40 disposed between the base 18 and the first portion 30, selectively. The strengthening rib 40 is utilized to strengthen connective strength between the first portion 30 and the base 18. In the preferred embodiment, dimension of a connective border between the first portion 30 and the base 18 may be greater than 2 mm, and the strengthening rib 40 is applied to increase the connective strength between the first portion 30 and the base 18.

Please refer to FIG. 9. FIG. 9 is a partial diagram of the connector mechanism 16 shown in FIG. 8. The guide pin structure 22 can be divided into a plurality of units Ni, and i=1˜n. The unit N1 is connected to the base 18, and the unit Nn is the free end of the guide pin structure 22. Generally, a width of the unit Ni+1 is not smaller than (which means can be greater than or equal to) a width of the unit Ni, to ensure that the orientation of the connector mechanism 16 is led by the guide pin structure 22 and the guide hole structure 28 since the plug connector 20 does not insert into the receptacle connector 26, and the foresaid orientation is switched to be led by the plug connector 20 and the receptacle connector 26 after the plug connector 20 inserts into the receptacle connector 26. In another possible embodiment, the width of the unit Ni of the first portion 30 can be smaller than ones of the unit Ni−1 as long as the width of the unit Ni+1 of the second portion 32 is not smaller than ones of the unit Ni.

Please refer to FIG. 10. FIG. 10 is a partial diagram of the connector mechanism 16 shown in FIG. 8. The guide hole structure 28 can be divided into a plurality of units Mi, and i=1˜n. The unit M1 is connected to the pedestal 24, and the unit Mn is the free end of the guide hole structure 28. Generally, the width of the unit Mi+1 is not greater than (which means can be smaller than or equal to) the width of the unit Mi, as design of the above-mentioned guide pin structure 22. In another possible embodiment, the width of the unit Mi of the first area 34 can be greater than ones of the unit Mi−1 as long as the width of the unit Mi+1 of the second area 36 is not greater than ones of the unit Mi.

In conclusion, the present disclosure disposes the guide pin structures on sides of the plug connector of the external electronic device, the length of the guide pin structure is greater than the length of the plug connector, and the guide pin structure can insert into the corresponding guide hole structure for the orientation leading before the plug connecter is assembled with the receptacle connector. The free end (the second portion) is wider than the fixed end (the first portion) of the guide pin structure. The opening (the second area) is narrow than the bottom (the first area) of the guide hole structure. In a first phase of insertion between the guide pin structure and the guide hole structure, the second portion is located within the second area, and the orientation of the connector mechanism is led by the guide pin structure and the guide hole structure due to the width difference D1 smaller than the width difference D2. In a second phase of the insertion between the guide pin structure and the guide hole structure, the second portion is located within the buffer area, the plug connector is slightly inserted into the receptacle connector, and the orientation of the connector mechanism is still led by the guide pin structure and the guide hole structure due to the width difference D4 smaller than the width difference D2. In a third phase of the insertion between the guide pin structure and the guide hole structure, the second portion is located within the first area, the first portion is located within the second area, the width difference D2 is smaller than the width difference D3 and the width difference D1′, and the orientation of the connector mechanism is led by the plug connector and the receptacle connector.

The present disclosure changes the structural characteristics of the guide pin structure and the guide hole structure, the orientation leading of the connector mechanism can be switched to an assembly of the guide pin structure and the guide hole structure, or to an assembly of the plug connector and the receptacle connector in different phases via variation of the width difference between different parts of the guide pin structure and the guide hole structure. The buffer area is small and can be selectively designed on the guide hole structure to effectively prevent the plug connector and the receptacle connector from unexpected structural interference when the connector mechanism is switched from the first phase to the second phase and further to the third phase. Comparing to the prior art, the present disclosure utilizes specific design of the guide pin structure and the guide hole structure to avoid the structural interference between the plug connector and the receptacle connector, so as to avert unnecessary rework, economize inspection cost and increase product yield.
